Reception
Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline wrote that Booth "combined the jump-cut with superimposition, so that the miniature people (shot on an exaggeratedly large table-top set) appear on screen alongside the normal-sized diner. Thankfully, he seems to find the sight more amusing than alarming."[2]
